If there is one filmmaker who is no alien to comics and their adaptations , it is Joss Whedon . TheBuffy the Vampire Slayercreator has not only had a hand in superhero moving-picture show and tv set series , but has also served as an source on various comic book , most notably , Astonishing decade - Men . And while Kevin Feige ( Marvel Studios ' President ) may be the brainiac behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( " MCU " ) , much of the dealership ’s success can be attributed to Whedon , who had the hard task of bringing the Avengers together for the first time on the big screen door .
Joss Whedon follow up his track record breaking turning asThe Avengers’director , by serving as a Lord and executive producer onAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,and returning to direct theAvengersfollow up , Avengers : Age of Ultron . Since the loss ofUltron , Whedon has taken a whole step back from the MCU , but that does not mean the illustrious filmmaker does not have any opinions on the state of the MCU and its rival , the DC Extended Universe .
Whedon recently sat down withComplex , where he discuss , among other things , the rivalry between the MCU and DCEU , and his thoughts onWonder Woman(a labor to which he was once attach ) . In reception to a question about the civilization of the superhero musical genre and the fact that " Marvel seems to be killing DC , " Whedon had this to say :
" I did not see Suicide Squad . I saw Batman vs. Superman . Everybody ’s got their own method . I think Marvel has been more successful systematically . DC has been more cinematic — their stuff looks amazing — but I feel like Kevin [ Feige , President of Marvel Studios ] is a really good storyteller . He really like about cohesion , and I finger like vogue never defeats substance at Marvel , but a small style creeps in . Ant - Man had some , Doctor Strange might be funky , and they are doing very fun things on TV . The Marvel - Netflix thing is work really well . DC ’s decision to have their show on idiot box with dissimilar thespian play the same characters at the same prison term as their movies , is a little interesting. "
Whedon was also asked how he experience aboutWonder Womanfinally getting made , to which he replied :
" I desire it to be right . The lagger was just terrific . I ’ll probably be disappoint , me more than anybody else , because I ’ll be like , " Wow , my version … " or whatever , but I can still get myself up for it . The trailer had her shield and her fervidness hammering and yep , I ’m good , this will be okay , everything is ripe . Such an image . "
Back in 2007 , Whedon was tie to aWonder Womanproject at Warner Bros. , before the parties went their separate ways . So , it is apprehensible that the managing director may have some miscellaneous feelings about the upcoming Gal Gadot - starring film . And as a film producer with superbia in his work , it is not surprising that he may feel likehis versionwould have been large . Still , as an artist with the regard Whedon has for the genre , it sounds like he is still excited to see Diana Prince extend her own film ; even if it is helmed by someone else .
As for Whedon ’s opinion on Marvel vs. DC , his response is similar to the view of many ( though certainly not all ) fans . It is absolved that the DCEU ( under Zack Snyder ’s steer hired man ) has a much different stylistic overture than the MCU films , which place less focus on visuals , and more on cohesive storytelling . It is hard to reason over Marvel ’s success in create one far give , cohesive macrocosm , whereas DC ’s attempt has felt a bit bucket along . Still , with the MCU and DCEU now both in full steam , it will be interesting to see how the two franchises heap up to one another . We ’ll get a taste next summertime whenGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2,Spider - valet de chambre : Homecoming , andWonder Womanall hit dramaturgy .
